ARC Book Review | Thorn by Intisar Khanini

Posted March 16, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Fantasy, Favourites, YA / 0 Comments

So shall I start this review by saying it’s THE BEST YA FANTASY BOOK I’VE READ THIS YEAR! That’s on hell of a line to start off with but it’s true. I wasn’t expecting it, I admit, a complete surprise by Intisar’s debut novel is just phenomenal! It has everything and more in a fantasy and I honestly can’t wait to talk about it more. My Review Princess Alyrra is a pawn in her own future, she is known as for her brutal honesty and her mother hates it. The cruelty between her brother and her mother, she doesn’t stand […]

Hello dear readers, we are in the second week into March and my wrap-up of February has been a bit slow, so apologies for that. I guess I got about it with all of the blog tours last week and then thinking ‘should I still do one’ but my twitter response was Yes! So here it is. I wanted to do one as last month I did my Fantasy February and I really enjoyed it. I did some different and new posts, a review or two and loads of author guest posts with my new author series, In the Mind […]

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends. Today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Harley in the Sky. It’s one of my most anticipated reads this year. I discovered Akemi last year and she’s on my auto-buy/read list ever since. The only book I haven’t read is Starfish which I think will do sooner rather than later. My post is a review but before that here is a little bit more about the book. (Just on a side note, I haven’t totally finished the book yet due to work craziness last week with Ofsted so my reading […]

Hello my bookish friends! The first month of 2020 is over! How can that be!? It did go on for a while I have to say, but then the last week just went by so quickly.

Planning for World Book Day and Harry Potter Book Night, honestly it never stops. It was also a month of new year goals. Mine were to read and blog more. I’ve done one […]
